What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms—stretching from the underarm to the elbow—to create a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Over time, factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can lead to “bat wings” or sagging skin that exercises alone cannot correct. At pēkomd®, our board-certified surgeons tailor the procedure to your individual anatomy, often combining traditional excision with liposuction to achieve smoother, balanced results. The goal is to enhance your arm profile naturally, so you can enjoy improved comfort and a look that matches your active lifestyle.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Dr. Koltz takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their needs, concerns and dreams. I would absolutely recommend giving them a call and taking the steps to feeling the best version of yourself!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!

Crescent Lift in Armpit

For patients with minimal to moderate excess tissue, a crescent lift in the armpit offers a less invasive alternative. In this technique, a small, crescent-shaped incision is made within the underarm crease, allowing for targeted removal of surplus skin without extensive scarring. This approach can yield subtle yet effective improvement, perfect for those seeking a refined arm profile with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Your Arm Lift Procedure at pēkomd®

Your arm lift journey in Columbus begins with an in-depth consultation at our state-of-the-art facility. During this session, our board-certified surgeons will evaluate your upper arm anatomy, review your medical history, and discuss your personal aesthetic goals. Whether you require a full brachioplasty or a combination of procedures—including liposuction and a crescent lift—the treatment plan is uniquely tailored to your needs. On the day of surgery, you'll be welcomed into our accredited surgical center, where patient comfort is paramount. 

With general anesthesia ensuring a relaxed, pain-free experience, your surgeon will make discreet incisions—often hidden along the inner arm or within natural creases—to remove excess fat and skin. The remaining skin is then meticulously re-draped and sutured, resulting in a smoother, more contoured upper arm. Once the procedure is completed, you'll be taken to a monitored recovery area, where our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your healing process.

Recovering After Your Arm Lift Surgery

Recovery experiences can vary, but most patients in Columbus report mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first week after an arm lift. Pain can typically be managed with prescribed medications, and wearing a compression garment may help minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Light activities are generally resumed within one to two weeks, while strenuous exercises and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four weeks or as advised by your surgeon. Regular follow-up visits ensure your healing is on track and allow adjustments to your post-operative care as needed, leading to a more refined arm contour over time.

Arm Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to embrace a more contoured, youthful look for your arms? Contact pēkomd® today to schedule your arm lift consultation in Columbus and take the next step toward renewed confidence.

Will I have visible scars after my arm lift?

While scarring is inevitable, our surgeons strategically place incisions in less visible areas, and scars typically fade over time with proper care.

How soon can I resume normal activities?

Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four weeks, according to your surgeon's guidelines.

Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast lift for a more comprehensive body contouring result.

How long do the results last?

Results are generally long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging and weight fluctuations can gradually affect your appearance over time.

Is an arm lift safe if I have underlying health conditions?

Your safety is our top priority. We thoroughly review your medical history and may consult with other specialists to ensure that the procedure is appropriate for your overall health.
